Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

At this moment, the area around Huaguo Mountain was filled with an overwhelming sense of killing intent. The sound of war drums echoed in all directions. The heavy aura alone terrified countless monkeys and their offspring in Huaguo Mountain. Even those huddled inside the Water Curtain Cave seemed unable to muster the slightest fighting spirit.

The red-bottomed macaque looked at Huang Tianhua, Yu Yuan, and the Heavenly Generals, seemingly lost in thought. Finally, he turned to the giant ape beside him for a question.

"Why does the aura emanating from those heavenly soldiers seem somewhat different from ours?"

Yuan Hong laughed and said, "That is divine cultivation. Divine cultivation flourished since the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods. The source of the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was the conferment of divine positions."

"Those who attain sainthood through physical means, though holding divine positions, are not bound by those positions and can travel to the four continents to observe the prosperity of all paths, such as Yang Jian and countless disciples of the Jie Sect."

"Furthermore, their souls are all conferred divine titles and are bound by the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip. People like Huang Tianhua and Yu Yuan have their souls listed on the Investiture of the Gods, and all their potential will be imprisoned within the Investiture of the Gods, with their lives in the hands of Haotian."

The Red-Bottomed Macaque seemed to ponder this. Regarding divine positions in the Heavenly Court, he felt that if he could obtain a divine position and achieve physical godhood, he would have more options in the prehistoric world and more room for future development...

However, Yuan Hong was unaware of the Red-Bottomed Macaque's thoughts. If he had known, he would have burst into laughter, because in the prehistoric world, the vice leader of the Jie Sect not only had such thoughts, but also sent countless Jie Sect disciples to the Heavenly Court. Compared to the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, the disciples of the Jie Sect were the winners in life.

Moreover, with the support of the Zhou Tian Star Array, the Jie Sect, as the leading force, now commands immense authority throughout the Heavenly Court, and even Haotian sometimes has to yield to them.

Just as the Red-Bottomed Macaque and Yuan Hong were observing the Heavenly Court's troops, Sun Wukong, who had just broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, had his voice echo in the Water Curtain Cave. The aura of the Taiyi Golden Immortal was completely unleashed, forming a boundless domain. After witnessing their king's power, countless monkeys and their followers all raised their weapons and left Flower Fruit Mountain, forming ranks and fiercely glaring at the Heavenly Court's troops.

When Li Jing, Huang Tianhua, and the others saw Sun Wukong, they couldn't help but marvel inwardly!

Clad in gleaming golden armor, his golden crown shimmering on his head. He wields a golden cudgel, his cloud-patterned shoes perfectly complementing his form. His strange eyes shine like stars, his ears reach past his shoulders, sharp and hard. His physique is ever-changing, his voice booming like a bell. With a sharp beak and protruding teeth, he is the humble stable boy, yet his ambition is to become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

"Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. Since you, the Supreme Heaven, are unreasonable, then don't blame me for suppressing you today!"

"You defeated disciples of the Chan Sect! Ever since you lost to the Jie Sect during the Investiture of the Gods, you still have the audacity to venture out into the primordial world and bully the weak? Is this the style of your saintly sect? It's utterly laughable!"

"Li Jing is a traitor who has served three masters; he is unworthy to stand in my Flower Fruit Mountain. You are all losers, yet you still have the nerve to stand here today. I, Old Sun, am ashamed to have opponents like you!"

Sun Wukong, holding his golden cudgel, looked at Li Jing, Huang Tianhua, and the others, and immediately launched a barrage of sarcastic remarks and attacks.

Upon hearing this, countless powerful beings from the primordial era who were watching the battle gasped in astonishment.

Li Jing showed little emotion upon hearing this, remaining as calm as an old dog.

However, Huang Tianhua, Yu Yuan, and other disciples of the Chan Sect became furious upon hearing Sun Wukong's words. Their divine aura erupted uncontrollably, and they stared at Sun Wukong with bloodshot eyes.

"You scoundrels, how dare you deceive me! Today I will show you that even if we are defeated, we are still not as good as you trash!" Huang Tianhua and Yu Yuan instantly lost their temper, and with their magic weapons in hand, they descended from the clouds and began to fight Sun Wukong.

This left the giant spirit god, who was originally the vanguard, somewhat embarrassed. Standing there was awkward, but not standing there was also awkward.

Seeing this, Li Jing didn't say much, but simply addressed the generals, "Beat the drums to cheer them on!"

"yes!"

Instantly, the resounding drumbeats could be heard throughout the entire Eastern Continent, as divine and immortal powers crisscrossed the sky above Flower Fruit Mountain.

When Huang Tianhua and Yu Yuan perished in the Investiture of the Gods, they had both just broken through to the initial stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Although he has now made it onto the list, he is still at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

After becoming Taiyi Golden Immortals, although they cannot comprehend the laws and their cultivation cannot be improved, countless senior uncles and senior masters, led by the Chan Sect, have indeed deeply cultivated the divine path. As a result, even though the two of them only have the strength of the initial stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, the divine spells in their hands can threaten the high-level Taiyi Golden Immortals, and they can even fight against the peak Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Although Sun Wukong was also at the initial stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, he was not afraid of the two opponents at all. After breaking through to the initial stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, Sun Wukong had a deeper understanding of the concepts of lawlessness and the absence of heavenly will. When he held the Golden Cudgel, the meaning of lawlessness roamed the heavens, and the meaning of the absence of heaven seemed to form a domain. In this domain, he, Sun Wukong, was the heaven!

The boundless suppressive power allowed Sun Wukong to directly overpower Huang Tianhua and Yu Yuan, while also causing numerous fluctuations in energy to rise above Flower Fruit Mountain.

The Demon King and his companions had gathered here at some unknown time. As they watched Sun Wukong overpowering Huang Tianhua and Yu Yuan, they couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

Back during the Investiture of the Gods, these two third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect were renowned figures in the prehistoric world. Even within the entire Chan Sect, perhaps only Yang Jian could compare to them.

But now, after such a short time, Sun Wukong is already able to overpower the two of them.

Although Huang Tianhua and his companion made the list, their backgrounds should never be underestimated. The mere mention of a sage's sect is enough to make countless powerful beings in the primordial world take them seriously.

"The divine techniques used by Huang Tianhua, which are inspired by the incense of the divine path, have a power comparable to that of a high-level Taiyi Golden Immortal. Combined with Yu Yuan's attack, they can fight against a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal. The techniques he cultivates are no longer the sacred path of the Chan Sect, but a regular divine path technique. Its power should not be underestimated."

"Although his soul is on the list and he will be trapped in the Investiture of the Gods in the future, his foundation is still intact. His disciples in the Chan Sect have probably been cultivating the path of gods for ten thousand years, seeking a way to transcend..." The Bull Demon King looked at Huang Tianhua at this moment and said in a heavy tone.

These weren't his words, but rather what Doumu Yuanjun once said: even if her disciples from the Chan Sect made it onto the list, they would not submit to Haotian, much less to the Investiture of the Gods.

Therefore, since the Investiture of the Gods, countless disciples of the Chan Sect have spent their days in the Heavenly Court comprehending the Dao, especially the divine arts. Perhaps among all the disciples of the Chan Sect, they are the most proficient in them.

They are not only searching for divine techniques, but also for a path to transcendence and reach the heavens through divine means.

The Antarctic Immortal was the best attempt, but for some reason he still couldn't escape the Investiture of the Gods. Despite having reached that level, he was still suppressed by Haotian in the end, and even broke ties with Yuanshi Tianzun.

This matter was widely discussed in Heaven, and it was unknown who spread it, but one thing the Bull Demon King was certain of was that the things done by the Chan Sect were most likely true! (End of Chapter)
